Hi~!

This is Jess from Park-sensei's class~ The title of my blog comes from an old nickname, "Ducky," which I learned early on was "ahiru" in Japanese. So if you see someone named "ducky" commenting on your posts, that's me.

The reason why I've chose to study Japanese is because of my background. I was born in Okinawa, Japan and lived most of my childhood there until I moved to Hawaii, which has a large Japanese population. Japan and its culture still holds a big place in my heart, hence why I want to be more proficient in the language. I expect that the most difficult part of this class for me will be learning new vocabulary and also kanji. Though this class may grow difficult as the semester goes on, I look forward to learning more Japanese!

こんいちわ！
